This proposal is much easier and cheaper to implement than an income tax. The PFD tax could be pulled directly from the dividend before issuance. Cheap, simple, effective. There is only one problem. This year $7 billion dollars worth of our oil be taken from Alaska nearly tax free, and Alaskans will pay $700 millio...

No need for this drama or for creating the idea that this requires an original solution. The Permanent Fund Dividend is paid by each year by a legislative appropriation. The Governor may "veto, strike, or reduce items in appropriation bills" per the State Constitution. If the state needs the money for "a higher and ...

This is a flat tax on all Alaskans. A single mom,with three kids, working at Walmart, would pay 4 times as much as Mark Pfeffer, the ANC LIO developer. !00% of the amount collected will currently be given directly to big oil companies under our oil tax credit system. This is a big fat red herring because any legisla...

You are incorrect. The tax is 15% of you FEDERAL TAX. Not 15% of your income. But you knew that already. If you were single and made $100K and didn't itemize, your federal tax would be about $18,000. 15% of that would be $2,700. If you made $50K, your state income tax would be about $850.

The GOP and the oil corporations are really shafting Alaskans. They want the $2000 PFD reduced to $1000 and then, they want to take away another 35%, which leaves a PFD of $650. Voting for the GOP was stupid.
